Checking in from the midwest
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. Long story short I live in the midwest and work for the federal government as a civilian. I currently have two TAG Heuer's (picking up my third from my local AD tomorrow) and am in the market for a Rolex as a gift to myself for recently returning from a deployment overseas. I figured I would come here to poke around the forums, get smart on the "little things" before I pulled the trigger on one of the handful of Rolex's that I'm currently eyeing. Thanks. -Kris |

dalip - I personally like the following watches and have been trying to narrow it down to one for my first Rolex purchase.
1. aftermarket black PVD submariner 2. Sub 1680 - 1977, single red, black face 3. Sub 5513 - Maxi dial 4. Sub 116610 LN - black face 5. Classic Explorer II - 165760, black face 6. NEW Explorer II - 216570, black face Decisions, decisions, decisions. If any one you own any of the above models I would love to hear your like and dislikes for the particular model. Thanks. -Kris |

Thanks again all. I've recently picked up a 16610LV from my local AD and could not be happier :-)

Here is an iPhone photo of two of my TAG HEUER'S.
TAG Carrera Calibre 1 Vintage and TAG Aquaracer 500M Full Black Both have only been worn two times and purchased BNIB by me from my local AD yet I'm thinking of putting them both up for sale.   -Kris
